I have aborted the tile conversion run. It takes 0.4 seconds per tileset when I ignore the blank database and takes 120 seconds when i use the database. Even with 0.4 secondsit would take long. I have implemented a fallback on the old tiles now and once the server is the main server, I will re-request all missing tilesets with very low priority. Do you think this is a good approach? Comparing time-stamps when converting would be an alternative, but 120 seconds per tileset literally takes forever and I fix rather bugs than invest more effort into handling legacy tilesets.
